China is set to introduce new policies to boost technology insurance, as revealed by Zhou Liang, Vice Chairman of the State Administration of Financial Regulation (SAFR). Speaking at the 2025 Tianjin Wudao Financial Forum, Zhou stated that regulators are developing measures to enhance the insurance industry’s role in risk compensation, mitigation, and capital leverage for technology enterprises.
The upcoming policies aim to accelerate support for technological innovation through specialized insurance products. These will focus on mitigating R&D risks, leveraging insurance capital for tech funding, and bridging financing gaps for startups. The move reflects China’s strategic push to de-risk technological advancement while maintaining innovation momentum.
Current pilot programs have shown promising results, with insurers increasingly aligning products with the tech sector’s needs. The new framework is expected to establish China as a leader in institutionalized tech risk management, providing comprehensive protection for cutting-edge development projects across industries.
